The Genesis Foundation

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the
air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth. Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Gen
1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,
and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon
the earth.

Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the
garden thou mayest freely eat: Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die. Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that
the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Gen 2:19 And
out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl
of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and
whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which
the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall
not eat of every tree of the garden? Gen 3:2 And the woman said unto the
serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: Gen 3:3 But of
the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye
shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. Gen 3:4 And
the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: Gen 3:5
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be
opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.Gen 3:6
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant
to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit
thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were
naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to
know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the
tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Gen 3:23 Therefore the LORD God
sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was
taken. Gen 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the
garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep
the way of the tree of life.

This is a brief summary of the foundation of the Bible. God created man
and woman in his image in a perfect environment. They walked with God without
sin. There was only one thing the were forbidden to do, to eat of the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil. Satan tempted Eve, saying you will be as God,
you will be your own god. Now you can do what you want to do. By disobeying both
Adam and Eve had sinned, in disobeying God. Sin was introduced to all of their
offspring. Now they must choose to obey God or to disobey and ignore God.

In our schools this foundational Bible teaching is not taught, instead the
false doctrine of evolution is taught and man becomes godless. They become their own authority doing what they want to do. They are not taught right and wrong or sin being disobedience to God. Many people do not understand what sin means, being
godless they do not see the need for a savior. The great sin is to deny God as
creator of all.

It is difficult to explain that Jesus is the Savior from sins, when they
have no Biblical foundation. It is the work of the Churches to be sure that the
young and old are taught the Genesis foundation so that they will understand sin
and a need for repentance. This explains why there are few who repent and are sorry for their sins. Many just say words and do not continue in church. America is becoming godless because of godless education.
